- I love you, Yahweh, my strength.
Yahweh is my rock, my fortress, and my deliverer;
my God, my rock, in whom I take refuge;
my shield, and the horn of my salvation, my high tower. - In my distress I called on Yahweh,
and cried to my God.
He heard my voice out of his temple.
My cry before him came into his ears. - With the merciful you will show yourself merciful.
With the perfect man, you will show yourself perfect. - For you will light my lamp, Yahweh.
My God will light up my darkness. - As for God, his way is perfect.
Yahweh’s word is tried.
He is a shield to all those who take refuge in him. - For who is God, except Yahweh?
Who is a rock, besides our God? - You have also given me the shield of your salvation.
Your right hand sustains me.
Your gentleness has made me great.
You have enlarged my steps under me,
My feet have not slipped. - The heavens declare the glory of God.
The expanse shows his handiwork.
Day after day they pour out speech,
and night after night they display knowledge. - Yahweh’s law is perfect, restoring the soul.
Yahweh’s covenant is sure, making wise the simple. - Yahweh’s precepts are right, rejoicing the heart.
Yahweh’s commandment is pure, enlightening the eyes. - Let the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart
be acceptable in your sight,
Yahweh, my rock, and my redeemer. - May he grant you your heart’s desire,
and fulfill all your counsel. - Some trust in chariots, and some in horses,
but we trust in the name of Yahweh our God.
May the Lord make you to increase and abound in love toward one another and toward all men, even as we also do toward you.
